Yes The Climb is good, but Joe McElderry's version is better.
And completely agreed on Don't Hurt Yourself. That was just an absolute MESS!

Before I continue, I would like to give two (dis)honorable mentions to two awful songs I discovered after I compiled this list: Lil' Pump - "Gucci Gang" (2017) - Repetitive lyrics? Check. Obnoxious references to drugs and sex? Check. Lots of mumbling? Check. Congratulations! Your song is total shit! Verbalicious - "Don't Play Nice" (2005) - I know it's from 2005 but I recently discovered this as I featured it as the token bad song during the 2005 edition of The Yearbook on The Book Club. This song is f*cking terrible and she cannot sing to save her life, however, I wish I knew while I was recording the show that this bitch went on to become Natalia Kills, because then I would've ripped into it MUCH more than I did. f*ck Natalia Kills and her bitchy, self-centered bullying ass. 30. David BANner – “Stop” (2005)This song is basically musical porn. I know this isn't the first time I've said that about a song. But seriously - it does NOT get more pornographic than this. This is not what I listen to music for, and the whispering gets on my last nerves! Is this David Banner or is this Selena Gomez? 29. Las Ketchup – “That Ketchup Crap” (2002)I know I'm gonna get A LOT of crap for this one since I know there are some people on here who really liked this, but I remember the first time I heard this I thought their vocals were annoying and the song was dumb as f*ck. KETCHUP??? You're singing about KETCHUP??? I guess this was the influence for Raheem Devaughn's misheard lyric in "Believe" - "I like mustard." 28. Uncle Krackhead – “Drift Away (From Overplay)” (2003)If I heard this song like once or twice, this honestly would've missed the list. I didn't like this when I first heard it, but by no means was it the worst song in the world. What changed this for me is that the local hot AC station here, Mix 105.1, felt the need to OVERPLAY THE f*ck OUT OF THIS not only in 2003, but even years after it was a hit!!! It was INSANITY!!!!!!! MAKE IT STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And speaking of disgustingly overplayed songs... 27. Ed Shitran – “Shape Of Eww” (2017)You know, Ed Sheeran was starting to get on my good side with his last album... I really liked "Sing" and "Don't" wasn't bad either. "Thinking Out Loud" was cute but it got old for me quick. Then he decides to ruin everything again by releasing this. Like "Drift Away", I initially didn't like this but thought - especially in this decade - there was MUCH worse out there. However, in school once we started taking clients, we listened to one radio station every day - Magic 107.7. Let that sink in. We had to listen to the same station. For six hours. Every. Single. Day. I got sick of a lot of older and newer songs because this stupid ass AC station felt the need to play the same 5 songs in one hour. This station is a huge reason for my hatred of DJ Lazer and Justin Bieber's "Let Me Love You". I'm also sick of AC/DC's "You Shook Me All Night Long" even more than I already was thanks to this station. But NOTHING got as DISGUSTINGLY OVERPLAYED as this. I would hear this two, maybe even three times a day! It got so bad that unless I was working on someone and I had no choice but to sit through it, whenever it came on I went to the bathroom and stayed there until I thought the song was done. Children, just say no to FM Radio! 26. I, ME, KANYE WEST – “Bound -2” (2013)This song is a HOT MESS. That sample that's used in the background while he raps gives me a headache. It's so screamy, it sounds like Jessie J! The "uh huh honey" part is repetitive as hell too. The video was such a desperate attempt at attention, and the fact that his wife was okay with appearing in the video for a song where Kanye asks for "other bitches for Christmas" is disgusting. Easily his worst song for me. And to think I actually used to like his stuff. 25. Jessie J – “Do It Like A Douche” (2011)Yes, I had to steal that title from Lisa-Gail > Madonna, because I loved it. What I don't love, however, is this song. I thought there was no way she could get screamier than she did in "Bang Bang", but then I discovered this piece of crap. EVERY TIME I hear this chorus, I get an instant headache. And what the f*ck does "do it like a dude" even mean anyway?!?!?! 24. Toby Keith – “(My) Red Solo Cup (Is Stupid Like This Song)” (2011)I wish I could find this tweet, but I haven't been bothered to go on Twitter that much these days so I don't really feel like it. But I first heard this when Bebe Reptar was broadcasting on what I believe was his college radio show, and I hated it so much I told him I'd pay him to never play this again. Everything I've heard from Toby Keith has been incredibly obnoxious, but "Courtesy Of The Red, White, And Blue" is "White Rabbit" compared to this garbage. 23. Cali Swag District – “Teach Me How To Be Annoying” (2010)Actual title is "Teach Me How To Dougie", and to be honest a part of me feels a little bad about this as most if not all the members of this group are dead. But while that is very sad, that doesn't stop me from hating this song. I first heard this one day while I was shopping at Guess and it was giving me the migraine to end all migraines. The funny thing is though, the rapping isn't the worst part of this song for me, it's the woman in the chorus going "teach me how to dougie, teach me teach me how to dougie" - SHUT THE f*ck UP YOU ANNOYINGHEAD!!! 22. Whack Eyed Peas – “Imma Be” (2010)Come on, do I really need to explain THIS? Just look at the f*cking title! 21. Whack Eyed Peas – “I Gotta Feeling (That I Suck)” (2009)This is their worst song for me, and it actually didn't get this high because of overplay. In fact, this song was out during the height of my metal phase, so I was able to avoid this for the most part when it was out. I just remember since I wasn't posting on M4B at the time, I still talked to Bebe Reptar a bit on Twitter and he helped me catch up on a lot of the pop stuff, and Unkie would send me stuff he thought I would like as well. I believe Unkie is the one who is guilty of sending me this. And I just remember on first listen thinking this was one of the biggest pieces of crap I've ever heard. I don't know what it is about this song since it's not as obnoxiously bad as, say, "Imma Be" or "Boom Boom Pow", but there is just something about this that I absolutely cannot stand. I truly had no clue that this was as big as it was until I rejoined M4B and Pulse (cue @wife: "f*ck Purse") in 2011, and why this was so huge I will never know. This may be the end for the Whack Eyed Peas, but have no fear - Fuglie has one more solo song still to come! 20. A song that was so bad, it resulted in what is quite possibly the most epic "Play It Or Trash It" thread on here ever. 19. I never thought someone could do "Crank That" worse than Soulja Boy. Boy was I wrong! 18. In my opinion, the worst song of 2003 BY FAR. 17. A song from one of the biggest rappers ever, that Unkie and I agreed was "career suicide." 16. This was #1 on the original list from 2006!

I only disagree there with "The Ketchup Song", "Drift Away", and I don't mind "Red Solo Cup" either.
That David Banner one was horrible, good call there!
"Shape Of You" is one I never liked, but overplay has made it even worse for me. Such a generic trend-hopping song that has overstayed its welcome.
I forgot how "Bound 2" goes but I recall I hated it.
"Do It Like A Dude" is EXACTLY why she's called the screamer!
No, I don't want to be taught how to do the Dougie... nor do I even care what the hell that is!
And yeah, f*** the Whack Eyed Peas. "Imma Be" was a huge tuneless mess, and "I Gotta Feeling" has been overplayed to the point of unlistenability for me.
20. Rihfund - Bitch Better Have My Money? 19. Silento - Watch Me Suck? 17. Eminem - Ass Like That? 16. Prince - P Control?

I like Shape Of You in that lot, as well as Drift Away and Red Solo Cup. Current count: 63/280 And what the f*ck does "do it like a dude" even" mean anyway?!?!?! Up the butt.

I liked "Shape Of You", "Drift Away", "Play" and "The Ketchup Song."
Agreed on "I Gotta Feeling", it's a song I got over very quickly and is now completely unlistenable.

20. Rihfund – “Bitch Better Have My Rihfund” (2015)At this point, she doesn't even sound like she's trying anymore. For most of this decade she has just constantly half assed it, and you can hear it between the lyrics given to her by her "writing camps", her vocals, her lack of promoting, and even the beats of the song. She's trying to sound edgy here and fails miserably. She just sounds angry and off key. I am not the type of person who believes you're not a real musician if you don't write your own songs - just look at Elton John and Linda Ronstadt. However, the thing that pisses me off so much about Rihanna is that so many other pop stars like Britney Spears have constantly been criticized for not writing their own songs (which isn't exactly true with her because I do know she has written a few including "Everytime"), but yet Rihanna has f*cking WRITING CAMPS for her albums because artistic creativity apparently is nonexistent to her, and nobody gives her shit for it!!! Yes, I did my homework and checked to see what songs she has written, and there are quite a bit, but 1) A lot of those songs also included seven other songwriters which is ridiculous especially given how repetitive the majority of her recent input is, and 2) I honestly believe she bought a lot of those songwriting credits. It is an open secret in the music industry that unfortunately, many artists feel the need to buy their writing credits instead of actually sitting down and writing a song. Also, for those who want to look back at the EPICNESS that was this song's Play It Or Trash It thread, enjoy!19. Shitlento – “Watch Me (Act Like An Idiot)” (2015)Ladies and gentlemen, the dumbing down of America. 18. R. Kelly – “Thoia Thoing” (2003)Why f*ck with that artist or title when 1) the title is already stupid, and 2) the artist is such a piece of shit as a person that keeping his name in there is insulting enough? I remember the first time I heard this, I couldn't believe this was actually a thing. It's sooooo bad. And R. Kelly, as mentioned earlier in this rant, is an asshole who uses women for sex. f*ck off with that shit. 17. Eminem – “Shitty Song Like That” (2005)Actual title is "Ass Like That", and this couldn't be any more obnoxious. This is an obvious attempt at trying to recreate his sillier songs like "My Name Is", "The Real Slim Shady", and "Without Me", and it fails miserably. 16. Not Worth 50 Cent – “Candy Flop” (2005)A lot of my dislike for this song comes from the fact that it stopped Green Day's "Boulevard Of Broken Dreams" from going to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, but even when you take that out of the picture this is still awful. It's pretty sad that since this song's release 13 years ago, I have found 15 songs worse than it - and 11 of them are from the last five years!!! 15. A viral hit from 2013. 14. My second most hated song from everyone's favorite nails on a chalkboard rapper! 13. A pop song from 2009 that everyone loves... except me. 12. You wanna talk about inappropriate? Just look at the title of this 2016 song alone! 11. The lead single from what is probably my second most hated album of 2016.

Can't argue with any of those, really.
"Bitch Better Have My Money" is one of many reasons why we call her Rihfund, seriously, most of her 10's stuff has been f***ing awful and that proves the point!
That Silento one was f***ing awful too, my worst of 2015 (yes, even beating out the Rihfund "song" that just appeared!) Who the hell thought it was a good idea to try and replicate Soulja Boy's stupid viral "dance" anyway? Annoying and repetitive.
As much as I've enjoyed several R. Kelly songs, I can't find any excuse for "Thoia Thoing", a title that makes no f***ing sense. What a mess!
"Ass Like That" just took Eminem's silliness to TMI levels, we didn't need to hear any of that!
And "Candy Shop", while to me not one of 50 Cent's worst, had way too much innuendo and has not aged very well at all. Good call on all five!
15. Ylvis - The Fox? 14. Lil' Payne - 6 Foot 7 Foot? 13. Miley Cyrus - Party In The USA? 11. Beyoncé - Formation?

Dammit, I missed out on commenting on the last lot Bitch better catch up! Before I do, "Gucci Gang" took out my $hitlist #1 for 2017! MAN that was horrid. Horrid, horrid, horrid. The guys looks like the poster-boy for meth. YAY I guessed 29 correctly. That's a first I didn't mind it, but I always laugh at the parody an Aussie skit show did of it back in 2003 - and I found a bad quality version of it Wow, you hate "Shape Of Eww" that much that it made 27?? That's harsh haha. It's not my favourite from him by far but I don't hate it. What a joke "Bound 2" was. Yikes. "Do It Like A Douche" was Jessie J's debut here! It was okay. "Red Solo Cup" I only heard because I was obsessed with Toby Keith's "How Do You Like Me Now", so I searched for more stuff of his and found this and was like, "Ohhh dear God no..." - If you want to hear an even worse song, listen to the single he recently released a few months ago, "Shitty Golfer". That one made my $hitbull List also. "Teach Me How To Dougie" was such a mess. Glad it wasn't played much here at all. "Imma Be" = horrific / "I Gotta Feeling" - not bad, but massively overplayed. Okay, I'm caught up. "BBHMM" - Wow Riphund, WTF were you thinking, guurrrrl!? Yeah, "Watch Me" definitely deserves Top 20. It has to be one of my worst songs too I think. "Candy Shop" was kinda cool when I first heard it because I was a giddly teenage boy hearing those naughty lyrics but once I grew up I realized how BAD it was and that the guy cannot sing to save his life

15. Baauer – “Harlem Headache” (2013) What the hell is this supposed to be? Dude, this doesn't even sound like a song! Just a mess of noise. I can't believe the general public actually bought and streamed this enough for it to be #1 on the Hot 100 for like 5 weeks. THIS is the problem right here. If we stopped buying this shit and started buying stuff like Carly Rae Jepsen, Kesha, etc., then MAYBE, just MAYBE, we'd see a change in the music industry. Although then again, nobody in this decade has sold more than Adele and that hasn't meant shit to top 40 radio.
14. Lil’ Payne – “6 Nails 7 Nails (On A Chalkboard)” (2011) Actual title is "6 Foot 7 Foot", but my title is more accurate because it's just another anthem from the king of nails on a chalkboard!
13. Slutley Skankrus – “Party In The Worst Songs Of All-Time Countdown Thread” (2009) I know I'm gonna get A LOT of shit for this one but first of all, this was #3 in the 2011 list, which means since I compiled that list, I have heard 10 (technically 8 because the top 2 from that list are still to come) songs even worse since then - granted, two of them are from Miley, but meh. Second of all, I just never got into this. Like "The Climb", and honestly most of her songs period, I'd probably like this if someone who could sing was singing on this. Her voice just annoys the hell out of me, especially the part where she goes "moving my hips like YEAHHHH" - girl, no.
12. 3OH!3 – “My Dick (Is Small And Stupid Like This Song)” (2016) Is there no such thing as subtlety anymore? Why are we naming our songs "My Dick"? I'd cut them some slack if the song was a little catchy, but this is just cringeworthy bad.
11. Beyondshit – “Flopmation” (2016) This is actually not her worst song for me, as she has one song left in the top 10, but this is still pretty awful. I'm not even going to bother talking about the message she was trying to get across here, because every time Beyonce' tries to be socially conscious whether it's about feminism or race issues, she just looks like a hypocrite who doesn't practice what she preaches. The song itself, however, is a hot mess. The beat is noisy and all over the place and her vocals sound terrible. I HATE when she does songs with this yelling/almost rapping kind of voice, it just sounds incredibly obnoxious to me. It's a shame too because I really liked her when she was in Destiny's Child/the beginning of her solo career.
10. On my 2017 year-end spectacular countdown special, this was #1 on my Evil Songs Of The Year segment. 9. My most hated song of the 2000's. After this, there's one more song left from the 90's, and the rest are from this decade (and aside from the 90's song, not one song in the top 8 is older than 2013).

"Harlem Shake" is a f***ing MESS. It's not even a song, just an annoying mess of noise. Still baffles me why it was so successful. My most hated... "song" of 2013.
That Lil' Payne one was totally unlistenable, easily one of his worst.
I actually didn't mind "Party In The USA" though it wasn't anything really special.
And yeah, "My Dick" is about as inappropriate as it gets. Why does that "song" even exist?
And yeah, "Formation" is very messy, I can't believe she used to actually sing well! Now she's just a waste of talent.

"Bitch Better Have My Money", "Formation", and "Party In The USA" all flopped for me.
I like "Thoia Thing", "Watch Me", "Candy Shop", "Ass Like That" and "Harlem Shake", but none are favorites.
The only one I really disagree on is Lil' Wayne, a former #1 for me.

Ergh at 'harlem shake'. Don't know that Lil Wayne track but knowing his other stuff, this has to be terrible. Well I know why you hate "Party In The USA" - just have a look at who wrote it Haha I wouldn't have heard "My Dick" if it wasn't for mikeespinho showing it to me. And Beyond$hit's song was SO bad.

Well I know why you hate "Party In The USA" - just have a look at who wrote it The song was written and produced by Dr. Luke, with additional songwriting provided by Jessie J and Claude Kelly. Yup, those explain A LOT.
